A NEW TUNE

Grammy-winning superstar India.Arie will perform live today on ABC's Good Morning America. Fans who tune in to the top-rated morning show will see the acclaimed singer/ songwriter debuting new songs from her just-released CD, Testimony: Vol. 2, Love & Politics (Soulbird Music/ Universal Republic). The new CD features a bonus track that GMA's Robin Roberts co-wrote with India.Arie, A Beautiful Day.

YOU'LL BE TESTED

ABC's Primetime: What Would You Do?, at 9 p.m. today (Denver's 7), checks your moral/ethical compass by setting up situations to elicit real-life answers to normally hypothetical questions, such as: Would you allow a confused elderly man to get behind the wheel of a car? Would you give your friend your blessing to marry a man half her age? John Quinones reports on the split- second and often-surprising decision-making process created by the questions.

"You can talk to me in a year and I'll say, 'Well, there are some problems, there are some complications.' But I don't know what they are. I don't know if there will be."

RATINGS WRESTLING

My Network TV has announced it will essentially get out of the business of presenting original programming except for its Friday Night Smackdown wrestling series.

The network, created for stations left adrift when the old WB and UPN networks combined to form the CW, will also turn its Saturday night schedule over to the local affiliates and stations owned by parent News Corp., it announced.

The only other series it has committed to for next fall is two hours of Law & Order: Criminal Intent reruns. My Network also will have a movie night.
